Skin rejuvenation
Do you suffer from deep wrinkles around the eyes, cheeks and mouth? Or has the skin on your face been damaged by the sun? If so, a laser treatment can help your skin look younger again.
Type of laser?
After just one treatment with the fractional CO2 laser you will look an average of five years younger.
How does laser treatment work?
The factional CO2 laser is able to penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin that stimulate new collagen formation. Collagen is necessary to literally hold the skin together. It is the most abundant protein in the body, but as the skin ages, collagen production is no longer balanced so the skin sags. New collagen production also leads to a reduction in pigment patches, less wrinkle formation, fewer acne scars and a reduction in the size of pores, bringing about a great improvement in skin texture in general.
Side effects?
The laser treatment itself is not painful because we use a numbing cream that is applied in the Dermatology service one hour before the treatment.
After the laser treatment, the skin will be red and swollen with scabs. We recommend staying at home for a least one week. After one week you can use make-up again and after two weeks the skin is fully healed.
How many sessions are needed?
One session is usually sufficient. If necessary an additional session can be scheduled after one year.
Precautionary measures?
- Avoid exposure to the sun for four weeks before and six weeks after the treatment and wear sunscreen factor 50+.
- Do you suffer badly from cold sores? In that case, we start anti-herpes medication two days before the laser treatment.
- We recommend that you stay at home for one week after this laser treatment.
- You can use cosmetics again one week after the procedure.
